A Pleasant Surprise: Al-ex-an-der Ham-il-ton!

It was a few months ago that I stumbled onto an amazing find. A play - on Broadway - with a biography of our nation's first Treasury Secretary, Alexander Hamilton!

I recall when I was younger, through those educational PBS shows, they would have educational songs on TV - music that explained something scientific or historical.

But now, there's a hit Broadway play doing this - and it's popular! While typing this, I have the Tony Awards #NowPlaying, on CBS. Before that, my dad was watching 60 Minutes, which had an item on Hamilton.

I am posting this here, because this is a New York blog. And not only is Broadway in NYC, but Secretary Alexander Hamilton was a New Yorker as well (I remember that from Scholastic Bowl).
